If you're not able to see Google's potential as a threat to the internet I don't think I'll be able to help you see that. I'll say Google owns way more data on us than Apple does and invests heavily into learning from this data for confidential reasons. It's bigger than data leaking. What if Google wanted to pull psychological targeting similar to Facebook's Cambridge Analytica scandal? Apple isn't in a position that would allow them to do that.
Its above my paygrade to be proposing how our data should be regulated. It's not going to be enough, whatever it is. Currently, it seems like what is happening is regulatory capture to weaken Apple so Google, Meta, etc can harvest more data from iphones while staying untouched.
I noticed you were comparing Googles advertising income to the revenue of the App store which aren't equatable factors but I didn't bring it up but I'm not trying to argue that Apple's tax is just or anything like that.
